    Good video. I'm a 80 year old DIY and have some tools from my 30's. I have some Harbor Freight tools, some from Lowes, Amazon, etc. I have a fortune in tools but i take care of them. With the mo ey you saved on tools you could get a decent tool bag at HF for $10-$15. Good job on your video. 😊

    You can't go wrong with any one of them. Those are top of the line of the living history pliers brands. Knipex have a combination pliers version (the European type), 9" - which is almost twice as cheap as the lineman's, but also with a high leverage pivot and powerful and comfortable.

    Dougies are the only way to go, there’s a learning curve, but i can adjust them with one hand and they sit flat on the face of the main sizes of plumbing nuts you’ll encounter, for a pair of plies with teeth they rarely gaul, even when your doing shit you shouldn’t, channel locks are for gas pipe only.

    The gap in the Klein's is actually a design feature from what I recall. The idea is the slight gap is so when you squeeze the handles, the gap closes, but doesn't press into the opposing blade.

  • @HannuTarhonen
    @HannuTarhonen 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tip: With spring-loaded strippers with lock, you can apply the lock after squeezing strippers around wire, after which you can freely reposition your grip or even stand on the strippers and pull wire with both hands if necessary

      The hybrid pliers are the absolute best. I have the 8” and 9”. I got the 8” first and liked them ok but wished they were bigger so they could replace linemans. Then I found out about the 9” and got them and was a HUGE fan instantly. I still have typical linemans nearby in my bag at all times but the 9” hybrids work 90% of the time. They are amazing for going into crawls or attics because with them and an 11 in 1 you can handle most tasks. For some reason basically everyone I work with hate the hybrid pliers and I don’t understand why. Use whatever works for you but you can’t deny the functionality of them. They are scared they will look lame if seen using anything but typical linemans. So silly.

    Douglas pliers have some quirks and are currently almost twice the price of channel locks. They are made by Wilde Tools who makes pretty nice "Flush Fasteners" (same as the Proto Stanley tools) which have a very smooth adjustment action! Thanks for the video!

    The Kliens with the Journeyman grips are $39.99 at Home Depot. Nothing holds up as well as the Klien 2000 series. Not even the Knipex. You don't cut wire all day long barely squeezing the pliers like your test. You did not cut any 6/32 or 8/32 screws. The snap of the Knipex wears on your hands. The Kliens eliminate that snap. Channel locks can not cut any screws and rust quickly. 25 five years in the trade. Had numerous pairs of Knipex also that had too much daylight between the cutting blades. Can use the Kliens to remove knock outs hammering on a screw driver. If you do that with the Knipex the small pivot loosens and pliers get wobble in them.

    Electrician here. I own all 3 brands. They are all GOOD. Klein i prefer for alot of splices. The top heavy feel of the tool aids in splicing multiple wires and wires of different sizes. The weight also makes it a great hammer in situations. The cutters generally hold up the longest between the three. Rectangle cutout can hold a 3/8s nut and be used a 9/16 wrench in a pinch. Knipex. Balance and finish are unmatched. This tool is awesome, metallurgy makes it rust and corrosion resistant, round cut allows to cut heavy gauge wire. They cut very well. Ive cut 1/4 bolts several times, very minor depressions in blades occured still cut well. Gripping nose is slightly smaller than Klein. Channellock. A cheap USA made no frills tool. Probably cut the best but rubber handles slide off, the tool rusts pretty easily and the tool head is slimmer than the competiton, a big downside. If you need to splice 3 or more 12awgs your SOL, wish they would fix that. Channellock used to make wiremaster plier that the old timers swore by.

      Couldn’t have said it better myself. I found a place that had a few wire masters still for sale about three months ago. Also own the CRFT. I’d also add Klein feels broken in from day one. Channlock is my work horse, gets used and abused. Klein is in all my bags Knipex is so nice I don’t want to use it. 😂

      @@thunderhammer1937 Agreed. I have 5 year old Knipex Cobras that have held up well, but I watch them like a hawk on job sites. My Knipex Lines & dykes are now backups and stay in the truck. Their dykes suck, dont buy them unless its the 10", but thats a large tool to be running abd gunning all day. I have a sweet spot for Channellock. I have quite a few of their pliers at home. Their "Nut busters" are amazing when you need them. I think when my Knipex Cobras take a dumo theyll be replaced with 430s or 440s. Klein tongue and groove flat out suck.

    I like the multi bit drivers but I hate the marketing of them. I deal with a lot of different screws and I have found that for me to get the bits that I regularly use I have to purchase multiple drivers because the bit I need only comes in one of the maybe 7 drivers. As it stands my current go to is a Klein adjustable shaft length driver with a traditional magnetic bit holder. Coupled with the Hercules 100 piece bit set that I added the nut driver bits to. All are impact rated so I can use my hand driver when necessary and easily change to the screw gun/drill/impact easily. There are a couple of item specific bits that I doubt I'll find (like the valve stem core remover that I saw on one of the multi bit drivers) but I might use that once so maybe not worth it.

    Many of the items you are showcasing from HF can be found for free or at least reduced with coupons. From my perspective it is more of a convenience and and warranty. Most of the HF have a lifetime warranty which is far easier to exchange.

      No argument. Sometimes good enough is good enough in regard to tools, other times having legacy tools or if "you" make your living with them the decision to upgrade is prudent. Making the decision is personal. Thanks for the add to the conversation. @@fabiantaveras8458

      HF coupons and freebies are not what they used to be. If I need something, I'm not going to wait half a year for a coupon. Besides, other stores have price drops and sales too. To be objective, I take the price as it regularly appears.

      Harbor freight tools are not good if you have a career in trades where you use the tools everydayall day, as a plumber I prefer buying quality tools. That being said if you just need household tools for a project or occasional use Harbor Freight is probably a good option.
